Part 4/10:
As the speaker reflects on the crisis from a first-hand perspective, having been born the same year it struck, the narrative begins to tie personal experiences into the broader socio-economic implications. The experience of the speaker's parents during the crisis sheds light on how systemic issues transcend generations.
For instance, one parent's experience with job loss during the crisis illustrates the disruptive impact it had on families. With the pressure to yield to outdated social norms, the decision for one parent to leave their job and forgo their career ambitions invokes emotional struggle, including mental health crises that persisted long after the economic recovery.
